Default Tory MP struck by train

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/b...s/10357834.stm
for more. Was this Victoria mainline or Underground?

Lucky to be struck by a train and receive minor injuries. Couldn't
have been a slam door anyway!

Sadly, press reports in the last few hours suggest it was a failed
suicide attempt by the MP.

Anyone know why he was at Victoria, given that he's MP for Bury St Edmunds
in Suffolk?

In the normal course of events it is very difficult to suffer injury
from using a train at a terminal station.

It's the nearest mainline station to his London flat (in Pimlico).

His desired destination is rumoured not to have been Bury St Edmunds.
